Broil - Maytag MMW9730AB Use And Care Manual

7. Press START to begin preheating the oven.
8. Place food in oven when preheat signal sounds. The screen
will also prompt you when to insert food. If a Delay Start is
programmed, place food in oven when setting the mode.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
NOTE: Do not use Delay Start for items that require a
preheated oven, such as cakes, cookies and breads. If food
is in the oven during preheat, it may become overcooked.
9. Press LOWER CANCEL to turn off the oven.
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The door must be
closed for the broil element to operate.
A
A. Broil element
When the broil temperature is reached, the element cycles on
and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. The oven
door must be closed for the broil element to operate.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will
turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is
closed, the elements will come back on approximately
30 seconds after the door is closed.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for
easier cleaning.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
After broiling, remove the pan and food from the oven.
Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven,
making cleaning more difficult.
To Use Broil:
Before using Broil, position rack according to the Broiling Chart.
When broiling, changing the temperature allows more precise
control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and
poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.
Position food on the grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
Close the door.

BROILING CHART
For best results, follow the chart below. For diagram, see the
